3DUPFitters 60mm or 80mm Computer Fan to 3" and 4" Adapters

thingiverse

This is designed to work with 3DUPfitters enclosures, hooking a standard 80mm computer fan to a standard 3" or 4" dryer vent. But it could also work with your DIY enclosure. Why? Many people find the smell of plastic from a 3D printer to be particularly noxious, but there hasn't been that much research on the long or short term health effects of exposure to 3D printer fumes. Because the differing nature of the particles and compounds put into the air by different filaments, there's no standard way of filtering everything, especially since the smallest particles can't be caught by even the best HEPA filter. If you only print occasionally the risk is low, but if you are going to be printing a lot (and especially for multiple printers), what the CDC recommends is to vent the 3D printer gasses to the outside, such as with one of our vents paired with a standard dryer hose. They can also hook to any DIY enclosure by simply creating the right size hole. These adapters will go from a standard 60mm or 80mm fan to a 3" or 4" dryer vent available at any hardware store. From there you can either DIY a way through a wall using dyer vent hardware, OR buy a dryer vent window insert. Note there is a separate file for each combination. This design requires a standard dryer hose clamp like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Stainless-Clamps-Collection-Automotive/dp/B07PDS9HG3/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=4%22%2Bclamps%2Bdryer%2Bvent&qid=1556231653&s=gateway&sr=8-10&th=1 More information is available at 3DUPfitters.com. https://www.3dupfitters.com/products/external-vent-kit
